UNDERPAID

Bravo makes a fairly hefty salary for MLS standards, but considering what other international-caliber players make in this league, he is a bargain. And he scored twice in his debut before getting injured in his second game.

Diego Chaves, F, CHI, $45,000

After a solid career in Uruguay and Mexico, the Fire snapped Chaves up for a shade over minimum wage. He rewarded them with a goal in each of his first three starts and another in his sixth.

The little-known Lindpere didn't take long to announce himself to MLS last year, when he was the Red Bulls' well-deserved MVP. In spite of the star power assembled around him, he is still one of the most important players on the team.

In the early 2000s, he was one of the world's most promising right wingers, having won the U-20 World Cup and Olympics with Argentina. The Sounders managed to snap him up for the league minimum. He paid quick dividends, getting three assists in his first four starts.
